Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed features containing prehistoric and Roman remains. Large sherds of at least seven Late Bronze Age vessels were found. The pottery may have been associated with a burial rite that occurred in a prominent position on Chatteris Island. The site may have been adapted later by the church for the similar ritual reasons. The Roman pottery dated from the first century AD. In spite of the location of the site close to the centre of medieval Chatteris, no features that could be positively ascribed to the medieval period were identified. [Au(adp)] |
